-Vive La Difference - A Walk In The Pyrenees		by Peter Rossel
+My walking companion Roy and myself had arranged to meet in Bayonne on the 9th Sept 1997. I arrived  by train from Toulouse, booked in the hotel Paris-Madrid-recommended by the Lonely Planet As Roy would not arrive till later in the evening I had plenty of time for some sight seeing in the old ,picturesque Basque town and sample some of their food and drinks. The weather was fine and sunny.

The weather was fine and sunny.
 Roy arrived and we soon sat down for dinner to discus our forthcoming trip into the Pyrenees, where neither of us had been before.  My only experience had been a 10 day walk in the Dordogne and a crash course at the Alliance Francaise. However we had maps and a Topo-guide for our planned route along a section of the GR-10-from Hendaye to St.Jean-Pied de Port. which we planned to achieve in 5 - 6 days.

 Things became confusing once more.  Several unmarked tracks crossed ours and the increasing fog was no help either.  Two walkers appeared out of the mist and directed us to the border village of Venta d’Inzola.  With some apprehension we followed the track when the second miracle occurred, the fog suddenly lifted revealing the outlines of a roof not far below, we had reached Venta d’Inzola, just across the Spanish border.  The roof we had noticed was that of a small cafe, a very welcome sight indeed.  In no time we were inside consuming coffee and baguettes.  Life seemed good again.
-After a chat with some locals and a visit to the mini supermarket, we continued our way to Othelle.  The trail was steep and slippery as rain pelted down..  At about 4 pm. we reached the gite d'etappe (hut) tucked away in the woods in the outskirts of Othelle. The ‘gite’ was large and comfortable with hot showers.  The place was totally deserted and soon our wet gear was strung out to dry.  It had stopped raining by now and we were in the right mood to "do", the town.  This proved a bit of a disappointment.  All we could find was a roadside bar which did not serve food.  The lady behind the bar could not be persuaded to make us a meal no matter how we tried.  As it had started to rain again-we decided to invest in some red wine and retreat to our hut rather then proceed to Othelle which was some distance away.  I don’t know if it was the wine, fatigue or both but we slept like logs that night.

-We woke at 8am to the sound of pouring rain , packed up and were soon on our way to the next objective, the village of Sare. According to the topo-guide this place promised all the things wet and hungry walkers could wish for.  All we had to do was to climb Col des Trois Fontaines, (570m) slide down the other side et voila.  The good book said it was only a 3hr walk-what a peach!

 The track was again slippery and wet.  Occasionally we had a glimpse of what could have been a great view had only the weather been in our favour.  Never mind-you can’t have it all your way. By now I had two very painful big toes which made "down hill" a most uncomfortable exercise not to mention kicking or tripping over rocks.  The rain gave way to sunshine and the walk across the alpine meadows was a real pleasure.  Bells around the necks of grazing goats formed a pleasant back ground music.

 The following morning we were welcomed by a bleary eyed cook who was still very much in a party mood and introduced us proudly to his companions gathered around the kitchen table.  Lots of laughter followed but a surprisingly good breakfast was quickly prepared pour les Australiens.  To be continued.

 This piece of doggerel was presented by Frank at the 70th Reunion campfire at Coolana last year.  Not really doggerel Frank, because doggerel should be comic or burlesque, and usually loose or irregular in measure.  Editor
